Default AKs - push or call the bubble raise?

AKs on party 50+5. No special read on raise.

Q: call or push?

I pushed because:
1)I dominate many of his possible hands.
2)Folding equity - he might not go all the way.
3)I am out of position - tougher post flop play.

Reason to only call:
1) fourth place sucks - we have same stack size.
2) Pushing might give too much equity to other two players.

For those that move-in:
Would you only call if you had position?

I'd push even if I had position.

Given the chip stacks and position of the raiser, I think you have a tremendous amount of folding equity plus there is a high likelihood that you are up against a dominated hand. If not, AK is not a bad hand to be all in with [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He made a questionable call with TT against another big stack, but then again he could have put you on a resteal.

I'd play it the same way, and question my decision after I got taken down by a small pair [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
